Chapter 6: Dangerous

Kent wanted to get close but somehow couldn't move, his whole body was like petrified.

Then, Kent suddenly realized that his left hand was holding something. Looking down, he saw that he was holding a fruit knife, that's right, suddenly a knife was in his hand.

The knife in his hand was stained with blood, and Kent wanted to throw it away but could not move or let go of the knife, like the knife was glued to his hand.

Ann Reed's head was crying more and more, but in the eye sockets were all black blood. The hair on her head gradually tied Kent down, Ann Reed's head being pulled up by her hair and fixed in the air.

Their eyes met, Kent's face was only a few centimeters from Ann Reed's head, Kent could clearly feel her cold breath on his face.

Kent saw Ann Reed's face in front of her with mixed emotions, both fear and longing. Anyway, Ann Reed is also Kent's girlfriend, in his life, there are not many relatives, so Kent soon considers Ann Reed as a family member, except that he is not currently married.

However, Ann Reed's current face was scary, it was a white face with no blood, eyes only white.

Kent was extremely scared, sweat soaked his shirt but Kent still felt extremely cold like in the refrigerator, he couldn't move either.

Suddenly, Ann Reed's head opened its mouth, Kent felt something in his body about to fly out, a kind of sense of loss and death clearly appeared in his mind.

At this moment, a mist of white smoke like mist flew out from Kent's eyes, nose and mouth, and then into Ann Reed's wide open mouth.

Ann Reed sucked the smoke out of Kent for three seconds, then stopped, the remaining smoke hung in the air for a while and then flew back to Kent.

Although everything happened quite quickly, at this time Kent realized that he had just lost something very important, like a part of his own life was lost.

“Ha ha ha …”

Suddenly Ann Reed smiled a fierce smile, that smile was once the most beautiful smile Kent had ever known, but now in Kent's eyes there was a look of terror and scary.

KENG!

The space suddenly shattered into pieces like broken glass.

"Cough!"

Kent opened his eyes in surprise, he found himself standing outside the living room, holding a knife in his hand.

“Thup!”

Kent sat down on the ground, his whole body shaking, his T-shirt soaked with sweat then he fainted.

“Um…”

Kent wearily opened his eyes, and found himself lying on the living room floor, still clutching the knife in his left hand.

Kent struggled to sit up, seeing the sunlight coming through the living room window made Kent feel a little warm.

Perhaps after experiencing horror last night, Kent felt the darkness was too horrible, too scary.

So, now Kent feels the rays of the sun so warm. Seeing the sun means he's alive.

"Tsk!"

Kent felt his head hurt like a hammer. Kent staggered to the bathroom to wash his face to wake up.

Looking at her own face in the mirror, Kent was a little startled. Kent's face is still the same, but he doesn't understand why he finds his face a bit strange, like the person in the mirror isn't himself.

“What am I thinking?” Kent thought to himself: "It must be because I'm so tired that I feel strange."

After washing his face, Kent went out of the living room and lay down on the sofa tiredly.

Kent looked at his phone, inside there was a new notification from the System. He moved his finger to open the message, and an announcement immediately appeared.

Kent looked at his phone, inside there was a new notification from the System. He moved his finger to open, and a message immediately appeared.

[Congratulations to Mr. Peter Kent for surviving until now. However, it's not over yet. On the contrary, your current condition was extremely dangerous. Half of your soul has been swallowed up by Ann Reed. If this situation continues, within a month, the rest of your soul will also be eaten by Ann Reed.]

Kent saw the message, his body suddenly trembled, fear covered his mind.

Thinking everything was over, this nightmare would no longer appear. But that's just Kent's thoughts, things are even worse.

Kent sensed Death standing very close to him. Not a skeleton wearing a black cloak, holding a scythe. The Death is Ann Reed.

Kent asked the System dejectedly, "Is there any way to keep me alive?"

[Ting!]

Kent's phone immediately had a new message.

[If you want to continue living, there is a way.]

Kent seeing the message from the System immediately rejoiced, a bright path opened up right before his eyes. Kent did not have time to wait, immediately asked: “How? Say it quickly!"

[Makes Ann Reed no longer hungry.]

“No longer hungry?”

[Right. Ann Reed is very hungry right now, she wants to eat a lot of soul energy, your soul being eaten by Ann Reed just calmed her down a bit. If there is no other soul energy, she will continue to eat the remaining half of the soul you have.]

Kent thought for a moment and then asked, "So… does that mean I have to sacrifice someone else's soul to Ann Reed in order to continue living?"

[Not. Kent, what you need to do now is find other demons to feed Ann Reed.]

"What? Are you kidding?” Kent screamed in fear. In Kent's mind, surviving from Ann Reed's evil hand was already very difficult, now the System said he had to find other demons as food for Ann Reed to have a chance to live.

This is like: “Out of the frying pan into the fire.”

No way, that can't be. If he did as the System said, he would die sooner or later, if not by Ann Reed, he would also die by other demons.

[Don't be so pessimistic, don't you already have a new weapon?]

“New weapon?”

[Yes, that is the knife.]

"Knife?" Kent heard that and looked at the fruit knife lying on the table, it was the knife he was holding when performing the demon interrogation ritual.

[You haven't been able to ask what Ann Reed needs from you, so the "ask the devil" quest has not been successful. That's why his life was in danger. However, the other knife has been partially infected with Ann Reed's energy, which can deal damage to entities like Ann Reed.]

“Does that mean that knife can kill demons?”

[It can be understood as such.]

“But why did that knife appear in my hand?”

[Because it was the weapon that killed Ann Reed.]

Kent was surprised, does it mean that he was holding a weapon?

Ding Dong!

Kent didn't have time to rejoice when the doorbell rang, he quickly hid the knife under the sofa and shouted: "Who is it?"

“Are you Peter Kent? We are the police.” Outside the door came the voice of a man.

Kent was startled, he didn't know why the police came to find him, was it something bad? Or… because he was holding the knife, the weapon that killed Ann Reed?
